I am worn out tonight but in a good way. #hyggehour
The life of a young teacher in 30s Manitoba. Her pupils‘ poverty is incredible. Meanwhile, where I live, the fog outside is so thick right now it‘s like living in cotton wool...

Celebrating #FoodandLit #Canada month with a chip truck poutine. I mean, really, any excuse for a chip truck poutine is a good one. #iykyk
Tagging my last excellent #CanLit read if anyone is looking for recommendations!
I‘m biggie sizing my hygge hour today. We‘re getting rain for the first time in over a month and I‘m going to sit still and celebrate that.
#ISpyBingoAugustOctober Working on my bingos and got acouple with this book. #FoodandLit #Canada @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @Catsandbooks @Texreader #LitsyLoveReads
pickEvery Canadian should read this book! An Obibway boy who is taken from his culture to be in a residential school in the early 1960s. It is sad and full of racism. As a Canadian, I feel ashamed as to how this could have been allowed to happen to so many children.As a descendent of The Ojibway people (Great Great Grandmother was Ojibway from Sault st Marie, Ont), I felt for this little boy being taken away from his culture.This book touched my heart
The emoji in the center of the flower says it all. The choice between And the Birds Rained Down and My Broken Language was painful!
Ultimately, I went with the title I did because it does *a lot* in few words. My Broken Language could be a bit rambly (but I‘d happily drown in her tidal wave of language forever).

"In which people go missing, a death pact adds spice to life, and the lure of the forest and of love makes life worth living. The story seems far-fetched, but there are witnesses, so its truth cannot be doubted. To doubt it would be to deprive us of an improbable other world that offers refuge to special beings."
Been on my TBR for a while, but @monalyisha recent review made me grab it at the library. With an opening line that I couldn't resist!
pickIt took some effort to hunt this slim novel-in-translation down. Nominated for a bunch of Canadian awards & adapted to (French) film in 2019, it was trickier to find in MA. Well worth it! In my Top 3 reads this year.
A trio of elderly men build off-grid cabins in the forest, so they can live & die on their own terms. Enter two women: one a young(ish) photographer, the other an aged woman recently sprung from a psychiatric institution. 👇🏻
